5. This organism is usually between 16 and 20 cm. when it is full grown. This applies to both male and female.
7. This organism eats micro organisms, most often plankton and algae.
8. This organism consumes plankton by swim through the water with their mouth open, taking in large volumes of water that hold tiny ocean creatures (plankton). Then they squeeze the water out through the baleen (plates hanging from the upper jaw used to consume micro organisms), leaving their food caught on the baleen. Then they use their tongue to wipe the baleen clean before swallowing their food. This is very similar to the way most whales eat.
9. In this organism, most of its waste comes from consuming too much water as it gathers plankton to eat or to breathe. This is released through the baleen before the organism swallows its food or exits through the gills. Another waste product the Sherk has is carbon dioxide which is remove in two possible ways. Once again through gills much like a fish. Another way is through the skin such as one of the three possible ways a frog exchanges air. The rest of the waste is disposed of by the digestive system.
10.
a) Abiotic Factors: Freshwater, rocks(shelter), oxygen.
b) Biotic Factors: Plankton( Parasitism)
c) It lives in climates between 32- 71 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year.
11.
a) This organism is usually located on the map between 30 and 20 degrees latitude. It is often found in streams.
12.
This organism lives on its own.
13. Some of its adaptions are two ways of breathing, a thin body, chromatophores for camouflage, claws to dig, small legs attach to surroundings, baleen for gathering food, and gills.
14. This organism able to move because it has 10 small crab legs(5 on each side).
15 Some unique behaviors this organism possesses are the ability to camouflage, like chameleons, and use its surroundings for shelter or support from the strong current.
16. One sense that this organism has is to bury themselves in the sand and under rocks to stay warm and rarely come out during the winter. Another sense is to eat the foods that many others avoid in that biome to have a better supply of food.
17. This organism can be very important for keeping the streams clean from algae.
18. This organism has been around for about 500,000 years. Over time it began to evolve:
